Actually, I don't think so. I'm pretty sure about that. Because dogs don't have hair-free skin around their lips so they shouldn't be able to... If you want to make sure just ask a vet. It's what I would do. But, otherwise, no.

∙ 11y agoNot the human flu, but dogs are susceptible to the canine version of colds and flu (which are caused by different things) The canine flu shows symptoms very close to kennel cough but they ARE NOT the same thing. The canine flu is almost the same as horse flu, and dog flu can be described as H3N8. many dogs recover within a few weeks on their own, beware that dogs may not show symptoms but are still contagious to other dogs. Humans and dogs can not transmit flu from each other, they are different strains.

Can dogs cause cowpox to humans?
no hey can give you flu
Can dogs transmit a virus to humans?
Yes, there have been a scattered few circumstances where that did happen. They were living closely with people with the flu, in the bed with them, etc. and caught the flu from them. A few cats and ferrets also have caught it from owners living very closely with them. The symptoms in dogs are similar to those in humans or in dogs with Bordetella (Kennel Cough) or canine flu (also going around). Veterinarians suggest staying away from pets, just like from people, while you are in the contagious stages of the flu.
Your dog is vomiting and sleeping a lot what types of sickness can cause this could it be the flu?
NO. Dogs dont get the flu. This could be a digestive problem. Dogs dont throw up unless something is wrong. A trip to the vet would be advised.
How do you cure the dog flu?
You can put the dog to sleep so that it will not infect other dogs.
Can dogs get any disease that humans get?
Not all, and the diseases they do get from humans affect dogs in different ways. If I had, say, flu it would affect the dog differently.
Can you give your pets the flu?
Some types of flu can be given to your pets when you are ill. During the Swine Flu pandemic there were known cases of pet dogs, cats, ferrets, and birds catching the flu from their owners. It was also known to have infected pigs, turkeys, other fowl and a captive cheetah.
How do animals spread Swine Flu?
Not all animals can get the types of flu that people get. Only a few types of animals have caught swine flu. There are different kinds of swine flu, not all of which people or other types of animals can catch. Some animals that have caught swine flu H1N1/09, the pandemic flu of 2009, are cats, dogs, ferrets, poultry and birds. But those that do catch swine flu spread it the same way people spread the flu to each other, through respiratory droplets from sneezes and coughs (this is why you should cover your mouth with a tissue or your elbow if you sneeze or cough). They also can get the flu by coming in contact with flu virus particles that have been released and are on surfaces that they touch. Most domesticated animals that did get the pandemic flu lived very closely with humans, like pet ferrets, dogs and cats living in people's homes while they were sick with the flu.
Is the Swine Flu good for dogs?
No, it is not good for dogs, just like it is not good for people. However, few dogs have been diagnosed with this type of flu, and those that were survived like most people who had that form of flu survived. Dogs get very similar symptoms as do humans: cough, runny nose and sneezing are usually the first signs.
